Tequila Shooter 1,609 Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 @Captain Bill Burt so when do you think that you’re going to go out and shoot those things? I’d like to hear your feedback on how you like’em Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Bill Burt 3,309 Posted January 17 Author Share Posted January 17 The gun my father gave me is ready to go. The one I bought needs a little more more work on the bore, but it's pretty much ready. I have the caps for several matches, plus enough on order for probably all of 2021. I need to talk to @Scarlettand buy a few pounds of 2ff APP when our schedules next cross. I also need a source for .44 balls. Any suggestions? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Black RZR 55 Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 I went in to sportsman warehouse. The only powder they have is black...triple 7 or pyrodex. I might be shooting frontier too. Now I know I don't want that rustex in my guns but they had a bunch of triple 7 2f or 3f $30 for the small jugs I think they a pound. They had blackhorn too heard that's good stuff $43 for 10 oz bottle Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Burn Through 28 Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 I don't know where around you that you can get it but goex 3 f is good stuff in those pistols I run about 21 grains in my brass 51s . It cleans up well with hot water . 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If you look at the T7 labels you will note that one is for cartridges only and one is muzzle loader only. T7 is a lot hotter than real BP or APP so buy the T7 grade for your application. You can use T7 for CAS just keep in mind that it is a lot hotter so you will need to load less powder and use a wad or a little filler so that the ball lightly compresses the powder.

El CupAJoe 340 Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 I can't tell if you kept your A.S.M. gun or not, but jwcchris on ebay has a large stock of Armi San Marco parts if you are ever looking for something and they combine shipping. I just bought a bunch of parts for my 1860 and 1858 ASM guns and was looking for something they didn't have listed. I contacted them and they said they had it, they listed it so I could buy everything and ship together. Very helpful. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm probably going to have Mike at Goons Gun Works slick them up some. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tequila Shooter 1,609 Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 @Captain Bill Burt I really recommend @Springfield Slim SASS #24733 prices are good, quick shipping. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I appreciate the info! I've already spoken with Mike and worked out a deal though. He's local to me, only about 45 minutes away, so I won't be dropping the guns off until he's ready to do the work.

Muley Gil SASS # 57795 115 Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Buy the real stuff-FFFg for your revolvers.

I actually was talking about Springfield’s balls, he ships fast and his balls are shiny and smooth , he tumbles them against each other. I think you’re going to like what Mike does to your guns, I know I do. He worked on 2 Remington NMAs, I can run 6 stages without a hiccup and after 6+ months of shooting them 2-3 times per month I still haven’t had to do a deep cleaning. Be patient the wait is worth it. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
H. K. Uriah, SASS #74619 1,161 Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 I was gonna say get a conversion cylinder for the 1860 to make it a .45 Colt. Then you can use it for black or smokeless. Just don't put the stock near it when it's got the conversion cylinder on the frame. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
